options are located close to the university and most neighborhoods have at least one park within walking distance. The world famous Cleveland Orchestra is housed
in the newly restored Severance Hall in University Circle. During the summer, the Blossom and Cain Park pavilions offer an extensive variety of outdoor concerts featuring classical, popular, and
folk music in a casual setting. Theater life is very rich in Cleveland with many companies performing in theaters
restored to their turn of the century splendor. The Flats, a restored warehouse district, contains a variety of waterfront restaurants and night clubs. In addition to the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame
